Land Use Permit Manual [24 VAC 30 ‑ 150]    (Repealed)
Action:
NOIRA to Repeal Existing Regulation and Replace with New Regulation
Action 767
 
[Withdrawn 3/12/2001]
General Information
Action Summary VDOT recommends that the Land Use Permit Manual be replaced by a totally rewritten regulation through a full-scale Administrative Process Act (APA) action. This recommendation is made for the following reasons: · the manual has not been revised since 1983; when issued, the regulation combined aspects of both an instructional manual for internal VDOT use, as well as a reference source for permit applicants; VDOT believes that the size of the regulation can be significantly reduced; · VDOT has issued or revised other regulations since 1983 that reference the Land Use Permit Manual (e.g., Minimum Standards of Entrances to State Highways, Vegetation Control Regulations, etc.); it is desirable that the Land Use Permit Manual address subjects in a consistent manner with these other regulations to avoid confusion or error; · changes in administrative practices or office technology (e.g., computerization and electronic communication) have occurred that could be addressed by a comprehensive revision; · the fee structure no longer reflects the actual expenses VDOT incurs to administer the permit program; determining a more reasonable fee for various types of permit activities will minimize any subsidization of the program by VDOT, and place costs more directly on the permit applicants. At present, based on the results of its preliminary review, the Maintenance Division anticipates the following revisions: · Reformatting the regulation to eliminate redundant or obsolete text, rewrite the retained text, and rearrange sections to improve readability and comprehension; this step should reduce the size of the regulation significantly (in its current form, it is over 250 pages in length); · Adding a section to define words and terms used in the regulation; · Revising the regulation as needed to address treatment of subjects in a consistent manner with other VDOT regulations; · Provide additional information on topics not addressed in the current regulation (e.g., Hazardous Materials/Waste Issues, Website addresses for forms, contacts, etc.)
